Welcome to the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy

MISSION

Advancing the study of structure from cells to organisms and its relation to function, in both health and disease.

VISION

Our vision is to lead the Cumming School of Medicine (CSM) and the University of Calgary in research and education related to imaging and quantification of morphology and its relation to function, in both health and disease. By doing so, we will support the research and educational priorities of the Cumming School and the University of Calgary and build a strong international reputation for leadership in cell biology and anatomy.

Congratulations to Dr. Roman Krawetz who was named Canada Research Chair for CIHR Tier II CRC in Bone and Joint Stem Cell Biology!

Dr. Krawetz was one of seven University of Calgary recipients of the Canada Research Chair. His collaborative research has led to early detection of osteoarthritis through blood test or sample of the synovial fluid from a patient’s joint. Having an early diagnoses helps the patient seek effective intervention options before OA becomes crippling.
